Yeah, that sucks for you. But again - you didn't own the view, you just expected the view to be there. If you wanted to own the view, you'd have to own all the land in eyeshot.

Wouldn't that be a bit irresponsible?

Wouldn't the null hypothesis be no gender difference, with gender difference in either direction to be proven by experiment?

Unless the gibberish is the same every time, the repeated sound of your password will still be parsable from a long enough sound recording of your computer usage.

Do you have no sense of humor?

I think you mean "won't come back in 100s (1000s? 10000s?)" of years. We don't have the technology to actually eliminate life on earth.

Right, having-prions can be seen as adaptive for a species.

No it's not. The fruit is: use a sideloaded Signal which you built yourself if you really need to be secure. If you're not, Signal is still better than Telegram or Whatsapp.

Couldn't WhatsApp faithfully implement the protocol, but also keylog and phone home occasionally? How would you know?

The problem with the sunset feature is if you're playing a game it absolutely destroys the FPS I get. Unfortunately I think the shortest interval is 20seconds, which is a pretty long time to be playing a competitive game that stutters

Wow, that's a really interesting idea. Unfortunately any amount of lag and you get 100dpi for a fraction of a second, and then suddenly it sharpens to 300dpi... like your eyes are constantly refocusing outside of your control.

Isn't Solomonoff Induction only given a Free Lunch if its priors are true? What if its priors are false?

How do you know they don't 1. Listen all the time 2. Use a small neural network on the device to detect when a voice is present 3. Collect this data into one zip file, then send the file when the user says "Alexa", or anythin

That also implies that if the market is very close to efficient, you need absolutely massive amounts of computational power to bring it even closer (i.e. to make money). So even if it is inefficient, that doesn't mean anyone can reaso

That's a very uncharitable assumption about P's comment.

It's not clear whether the report is real yet, but if it is, Telegram being compromised is pretty big news. Presumably this means private chats are insecure, not just normal chats.

This post is full of speculation: "Only it turns out it wasn’t a leak, but instead contained Donald Trump fanfiction that was posted on 4chan, an anonymous web forum." It "turns out"!? The link to /pol/ that i

I don't think that we need to be subsidizing babies when the world population is 7.4 billion.

Hold on, coal plants are already only ~35% efficient at converting heat into electricity. Subtract 30% and you're left with 5%, not 70%.

I'm not sure why you're pretending that it should be someone else's job to prove the point you're trying to make. You threw up a graph which looks identical to a population-density graph and are pretending you gave us ev

CD quality doesn't throw away data that your ears can hear, thanks to the Nyquist sampling theorem. If your ears can hear better than 20khz I'd be very surprised.

I really recommend starting with spacemacs. Guide-key alone ( https://github.com/kai2nenobu/guide-key ) makes everything SO much more discoverable. Plus, their use of SPC as a universal prefix for useful commands is pr

Disagree - you can use spacemacs in "holy mode", i.e. without evil-mode.

I don't think the scientific method is inherently materialistic - it's just that our most validated theories about how the world work are materialist.

I don't think that's obvious - spdustin could be speaking from a buddhist point of view: suffering is caused by desire, not pain. You can choose to remove desire and suffering from the mind through meditation.
